Red-wattled Lapwing​

Hi Chiangkxv,
I hope you are not annoy by me asking a stupid question and also apologise in advance if this is not the place to be asking questions.
This photo of yours is so sharp even to the point where the feathers turn up sharp too. My question is do you shoot at continous shooting mode or only a one shot mode?
Regards.

Hi there. Actually it's not as sharp as u think. But generally, for birds in flight, I shoot in continuous and manual mode and my settings are.

Shutter speed: 1/2000
Aperture: as wide as possible
ISO: Auto
Metering: Centre weighted
Exposure compensation: +1 to +2 depending direction of sun.

Thanks bro. This was taken at the entrance into rainforest trail. The BG was some distant trees. And of course, I did some cloning.

Rusty-breasted Cuckoo (Juvenile) @ Labrador Park

I ID this as a Rusty-breasted Cuckoo because of the yellow eye ring. What say you?​
